Studying abroad not only through the Erasmus

Study abroad is particularly in recent years, a very popular vehicle for both
the student life to gain the most from what this life stage has to offer. Hardly
anyone knows that and the ability to get to study abroad is much more than just
those that the school offers, which are currently studying.

Abroad can now be studied for different lengths of time – from
one-semester program culminating in the full study title. In particular,
short-term programs are now very popular among students because their offer is
still broader and more even in terms of financial costs are not as completely
unavailable (although certainly not for free as well). And some of them are now
in our review focus.

Why go abroad?

The answer to the question, why go through so threw, which is preparing
applications, collecting letters of recommendation and other matters necessary
for the stipendijnímu admissions program which eventually Vrdy not be
successful, it is still obvious. While the students from their temporary place
of work abroad return with diverse experiences and impressions, and in any case
come with valuable experience, language improved equipment and new contacts.
What's more, the passing of such a placement is also quite pleasing later
resume item. The main advantage of most of the following programs of study in
addition to the mediation itself and its hinterland in particular financial
assistance. Assigned scholarship, however, mostly just to cover basic expenses
such as travel to the country, or language training, boarding and lodging. The
rest of costs is most often dependent on the financial participation of the
student himself.

scholarships in cooperation with international agreements, which show the length

the scholarship you must therefore find themselves. AIA Student scholarships are
open to all students at public universities in the Czech Republic.

CEEPUS === === Outside activities of the AIA offers a House Foreign Service
Program at Central European Exchange Programme for University Studies (CEEPUS

related to health care, education or environmental protection. The scholarship
